Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial [1].
Ecology:
It is found in temperate
broadleaf cloud forest
, mainly mixed evergreen
and deciduous, at 1,100-2,250 m.
Radio telemetry studies have shown
that when foraging
it favours undisturbed, closed-canopy forest
with
an open forest floor, sparse bamboo
growth and damp leaf-litter.
Although it prefers shallow slopes
, most of the remaining areas of
forest within its range
are on steep slopes. It occurs in secondary
forest at similar densities, but usually within 1 km
of primary forest
.
Research has also shown that it occurs in broadleaf plantations after
about 15 years of growth provided that native
broadleaves are used
in the replanting1.
